Today’s Subject: Infamous Tornadoes (note that there are some darker themes in this post, specifically at Joplin and Jerell)

1999 Bridgecreek- Moore F5

May 3rd.. a day that seems normal to most of yall, but to the Residents of Bridgecreek and Moore, it’s the day where the most Powerful tornado in recorded history struck,

The 1999 Bridgecreek – Moore F5 is interesting due to it having LITERALLY THE HIGHEST WINDSPEEDS EVER RECORDED! And because it looks like an actual monster

Joplin 2011:

A few days after the Devastating 2011 super-outbreak, mother nature wasn’t done with her wrath

And one day.. it started, a Tornado appears near Joplin, making its way towards the city.

Destroying everything in its path, and once it reaches joplin.. it’s just absolutely devastating, Hospitals were destroyed, schools were destroyed, over 100 fatalities, hundreds of homes swept completely off their foundation.
It’s just tragic, even Expert tornado enthusiasts were shocked by the devastation which was on the same level as the Super-outbreak

It was a Multi-vortex Rainwrapped EF5-rated Tornado

Jerell 1997:

Just a regular day in 1997, people are at work as usual, busy traffic and a calm day in Jerell Texas until

A small Rope tornado forms near the town, and quickly it strengthens to a Multi-vortex F5-strength Monster, as it entered the Double-creek estates Subdivison of Jerell.. it stalled

It stalled over the Double-creek estates.. which caused more devastation then it would of caused normally.. the entire subdivision.. gone.. nothing left except the foundation.. and mangled corpses of vehicles… and people

And it’s also where the Infamous “Dead-man Walking” tornado photo comes from.

So neat but also tragic.

Tornadoes seen below:
Jerell 1997 (Dead man walking)
